Saudi Arabia has revised the design of the floating port city, Oxagon.

The port will now serve not only as a central hub for the shipment and receipt of cargo but also as a leading global manufacturing and information technology center.

Upon completion of construction, Oxagon is expected to handle 12 million TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units, a standard measure for cargo capacity based on the volume of a 20-foot (6.1 meters) intermodal ISO container). In comparison, the container turnover of Russian seaports in 2024 was 5.591 million TEU.

To achieve this capacity, the approach channels of Oxagon port will be significantly expanded. Their width will be 550 meters and their depth will be 19 meters, allowing for the accommodation of a larger number of bigger vessels.

To manage such a vast amount of cargo, automated systems based on artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles will be utilized to optimize logistics, including a railway system at the dock.

The city of Oxagon itself is set to become a center for clean energy production and information technology. Solar and wind power plants, as well as a robust data processing center, will be established on its territory.
